Process for the alkylation of hydrocarbons

摘要

The invention pertains to a process for the alkylation of hydrocarbons wherein a hydrocarbon feedstock and an olefin are contacted with a catalyst at alkylation process conditions. The catalyst comprises a hydrogenation function and a solid acid. The ratio between (i) the volume in catalyst pores with a diameter in the range of about 40-8000 nm and (ii) the specific length of the catalyst particles is in the range of about 0.01-0.90 ml/(g*mm). The catalyst has a total pore volume of at least about 0.20 ml/g and the volume in the catalyst pores with a diameter in the range of about 40-8000 nm is below about 0.30 ml/g.
